1. Musculoskeletal System

2. Inflammatory Disorders Presentations Rheumatoid Arthritis Ankylosing spondylitis Osteomyelitis Bursitis

3. Degenerative Disorders Osteoporosis Osteoarthritis DJD/Degenerative Joint Disease Total Joint Arthroplasty

4. Osteoporosis Increased porosity in the bone Common disorder of bone metabolism Decreased mineral and protein matrix Bone brittle, fragile Prone to fractures

5. Osteoporosis 10 million people in United States have Osteoporosis Another 34 million have low bone density, which puts them at risk for Osteoporosis 80% of affected are women 1.5 million fractures occur each year related to Osteoporosis

6. Osteoporosis Silent disease No symptoms of bone loss May have 50% loss prior to diagnosis Multiple fractures may cause decrease in height Only diagnosed by BMD Bone Mineral Density Painless Non-invasive safe

7. Osteoporosis Risk Factors Small bones Advanced age Family history Post-menopause with out estrogen replacement Eating disorders Low calcium diet Inactive activity Smoking Increased alcohol consumption Use of corticosteroids or anticonvulsant medications

8. Medical-Surgical Management Pharmacological four medications – Estrogen Fosamax Miacalcin Testosterone No cure Prevention

9. Osteoporsis Diet Activity

10. Nursing Process Assessment Subjective Data

11. Objective Data

12. Dowager’s Hump

13. Degenerative Joint Disease/DJD Osteoarthritis NOT inflammatory Wear and tear disease Slow, steady, progressive destruction of the joint Etiology unknown Most common form of arthritis

14. Osteoarthritis or DJD Symptoms Early morning stiffness Pain after physical activity Joint enlargement Bouchard’s nodes Heberden’s nodes Hypertrophic spurs –Distal interphalanges –Hard, painless

15. Heberden’s Nodes

16. Heberden’s nodes.

17. Bouchard’s Nodes

18. Diagnostic tests Radiographic studies Arthroscopy Synovial fluid examination Bone scans Osteoarthritis

19. Medical management/nursing interventions Surgery Osteoarthritis

20. Total Joint Arthroplasty Joint replacement Replacement of both articular surfaces with in a joint capsule Hip, knee, shoulder and fingers are most common sites Replacement consist of metal and polyethylene

21. Total Joint Arthroplasty Older method of cemented in prepared bone is not used as often New technology uses porous coated cement-less artificial joint component. This allows bone to grow into the joint and less prosthesis failure noted.

22. Total Hip Replacement Replacement of severely damaged hip with an artificial joint Usually people over 60 years Severe pain, irreversible damage to hip joints

23. Hip Replacement Potential problems Dislocation of prosthesis Excessive wound drainage Infection

24. Following Hip Replacement Client’s hip and leg to be kept in position of adduction and extension Knees are apart by abductor pillow or by using foam wedges Entire leg to be supported when turning side to side AVOID ACUTE FLEXION OF THE HIP

25. Following Hip Replacement Fracture bed pan should be used Raised toilet seat in bathroom Vital signs, circulation, movement and sensation checks (CMS) to be done frequently Inspect dressing frequently Monitor drainage from portable suction device (JP Drainage) can be as high as 200 -500 cc. With in 48 hours should be less than 30 cc and suction devices can be removed.

26. Client Goals after Hip Replacement Ambulate independently Out of bed the night of the surgery or the next day Gait training begins so that client can use crutches or cane FLEXION OF KNEE TO BE AVOIDED No more than 90 degrees No stair climbing for three months

27. Total Knee Replacement Severe pain and functional disability related to joint destruction Following knee replacement clients may use CPM continuous passive motion machine which helps increase circulation to operative area and promotes flexibility with in he knee joint.

28. Knee Replacement Following surgery…. Knee to be imoblized Firm compression dressing Adjustable soft knee immobilizer Transfer to chair ok, but NO WEIGHT BEARING is allowed on knee until ordered my MD

29. Total knee replacement SCD – Sequential Compression Device may be used or TED hose – Anti embolism stocking worn to minimize the development of thrombophlebitis Rehabilitation starts second day When patient is sitting knee should be elevated Weight bearing should start with in 1- 2 days

30. Nursing Management Cough and deep breathe Use trapeze to raise hips off bed for bedpan use

31. NursingAssessment Nursing Assessment should include… Neurovascular assessment of affected extremity Incision assessment Vital signs Lung sounds Pedal pulses Intake and output

32. Nursing Assessment Irritablity Restlessness Orientation Neurovascular assessment for pain, numbness, tingling and paresthesia

33. Objective Assessment Incision assessment for Approximation Redness Drainage Skin color

34. Assessment Other assessments Tachypnea Dyspnea Hypoxia Crackles and wheezes ( s/s of fat embolism) Position of affected part
